Got in, got my pin badge, got my advance ordered miniature which unfortunately is a sorry state of bubbles and miscast detail. So sorting that with Mail Order.

Store here wasn't doing a sprue box (for shame). Did have a raffle (though prizes were old stock or returned items). Got my number drawn and picked up a Hydra as a prize.

Only problem? Missing a neck. Considering the Hydra comes with a spare 'severed head' neck?

Not a problem at all as I had that spare.

£40 model for free for me.

This.

Who's getting the model? I was thinking about doing so, (I got Harry The Hammer) but I decided not to because, well, Harry doesn't do anything, and I've got a lot of other minatures I'd like to buy

I ordered it, as a gift. A friend of mine, when he was in the Army, his unit had a Crimson Fist like logo, so he played Fists before they all turned into Ultramarinesm, and he is also the one that got me to move over from BFG, to 40K. So as a gift and a thank you I got him one. Which he plans on using now.

Awww Reading didn't have a sprue box and all the badged/figures were gone within seconds of the doors opening. They only seemed to have about 10 badges, which they gave away to the first few people through the door

Birmingham's GW just gave them to the staff n there cronies, nobody else got a look in

I would have loved that poster if I had of known about it.

But got the model to go in the box of all the other never to opened special edition minis I've bought over the years.

yeah,
I plan to use mine, he's getting converted to a jump pack captain, I've already bought him a FW mkv jumppack, he'll see combat before summer!

I've made a 1500pt list using the swag I bagged. ( although I need to get 15 more marines 3 razorbacks and 5 more scouts. )
I can't wait to get started on my first ever loyalist marine army.

Panic...

Panic = Vanilla Smurf fanboi?

What is the world coming to?

yeah,
Haha! that's what I've been telling people, after the grots and the hellions I want a quick to build and paint army.
Bog standard off the shelf minitures, no crazy conversions. Razorback spam from the space wolf codex (because I've got it...) I'll paint them grey.
All hail the Dull Marines and thier mighty battle cry 'BORINGGG!'

Panic...

Having missed my stores event, I assume there's no way I'll be getting hold of that Crimson Fist model (iirc it was a while stocks last?)

Please let there be hope. Please...

That sucker is sold out everywhere. Best bet is eBay but you probably going to pay a premium for it.

Yeah I saw some nice person already had it on swapshop - sealed in wraper, good luck with that lottery!

Depending on GW's comedy of errors with miscasts I may end up with some that require some fixing to flog off.

Anyone have any of the aqulia or birthday pins they want to sell?

GWAUS still has however many copies left (can't say they were tremendously popular on release day, reaction was mostly 'meh'). So if you want to buy at 200% price + shipping be my guest. Costs equivalent of £38.

There's half a dozen Crimson Fist models at GW Oxford Street if anyone is desperate. No posters though - Grrrrrrrr!

And If the one I just opened is anything to go by, then they are good casts to boot.

Sucks for me then out of five, four of them the banner crests was broken off and the remaining one the shaft of the banner was broken.

GW Uk will have another 500 or so for sale, unsold stock from mainland Europe which are being shipped back across to the UK.


UK initial stocks sold out.

Reading GW.

badges? what badges? None were for sale that i saw? Stickers yes, and a few got the 25 aniversary pin badge (bronze one) handed to them for buying something or just put luck.

There was stock of mousemats, posters, wrist bangles.

However i was only after the new necrons battleforce and i ended up buying the 25th LE SM model.
